hardy har har?
I can’t believe I thought he was decent bc of that whole comedy skit about how men are dangerous to women/dating 🤮
But nope, piece of shit through and through. Congrats on getting school shooting victims, nonbinary folks, and fat kids all into one two minute bit, you absolute human garbage can.
i love her.

like... wow so brave
i'm here thinking why is this character (who looked about half his age and way prettier than him, lol like that's hard) so damn desperate to date his ugly ass anyway
I used to listen to him on opie & Anthony (I know... I was REALLY bored and exhausted all my radio options; this was before podcasts took off) aka altright level conservative shock jocks and he actually had some surprisingly insightful political views for a white guy but like nothing worth applauding him for
I feel like this newborn personality of being a conservative shock jock is rooted in him being an out of touch old white dude and not sheer ignorance that his extreme comedy doesn’t work anymore because hes not a self-hating relatable Average Joe but a rich white asshole who thinks he can get away with sexual assault
BUT
I remember being absolutely baffled that everyone was hailing him as some kind of feminist hero as a comedian when he had a routine where he called his two daughters, both of whom were little girls maybe under 5 or so? cunts.
it's not even a new routine. people call their kids assholes. little shits. even I could see, bitches. he went with what he did for shock value and to be "different" from every other comedian who talks about the fact their kids can be real difficult and aren't perfect sitcom angels. But it never sat well with me. these are little girls. his little girls. and while the word isn't the ultimate taboo for me, it is a loaded word. and for a man to call his daughters that, it never sat right with me. like he wanted to be the first to call them that, deliberately. it always felt sinister to me and i couldn't understand all these feminist sites fawning all over him because he'd say some shit like women should get equality, and then turn around and disrespect his daughters. i can laugh at some of the most un-pc stuff, i can get a joke. but it always felt sinister and i hated that he was praised for not even the bare minimum and so people overlooked some of his absolutely terrible material about his daughters, wife/ex and women in general.
I stg the "Sex positive" movement has been such a scourge. People were convinced that type of shit was merely "sex positive," and to dislike it you must be a conservative prude.
It was also a huge red flag when some white dude stanned him
Die.
He just put on a half-ass attempt at a "voice" and said "fuck" a million times in between. Woah. Peak comedy tbh...
This world is doomed.
The disgraced comedian then went after the pronouns people would prefer to be called, acknowledging that there are some who would like to be addressed as they or them.
“They’re like royalty. They tell you what to call them," the comedian said, in a sneering tone. "‘You should address me as they, them. Because I identify as gender neutral.’ Okay, you should address me as ‘there’ because I identify as a location. And the location is your mother’s cunt. It doesn't have to be that nasty but it can be.”
The Louie star then set his sights on the survivors of school shootings. “They testify in front of Congress, these kids? What are they doing? You’re young! You should be crazy! You should be unhinged! Not in a suit. You’re not interesting," he said, referencing the survivors of the Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School shooting. "Because you went to a high school where kids got shot? Why does that mean I have to listen to you? Why does that make you interesting? You didn’t get shot. You pushed some fat kid in the way and now I’ve got to listen to you talking?"
Holy shit.
And then he says "You should address me as "there" because I identify as a location. And that location is your mother's c*nt."
And then he says they shouldn't be testifying in front of congress, and they're not interesting just because they went to a high school where kids got shot.
